FIRE DRILL CHANGE.
Drills to be Held Once Week In
stead of Monthly, as has Been
the Custom.

At the suggestion of Assistant
Chief Pratt, of the Fire Department,
competitive drills between the two
divisions of the department will be
held once week-on Friday after
noons-instead of once month, the
firemen to give the three extra drills
per month gratis, the pay remaining
the same as when the drills are held
monthly. The object In this, as out
lined to a LEDGER reporter by Mr..
Pratt, is to better fit the firemen for
doing their duty, enable them to en-
ter tournaments, besides increasing
the interest of the public in the Fire
DEPARTMENT. The regular monthly
dill takes place at z o'clock this
evening, and the plan will be fully
Explained to the firemen, and all ar.
rangements as to the hour OF weekly
drill, fine for absentees, etc., will be
made.
Mexico's Fire Department is as ef.
fcient as any one in the State in
towns the size of Mexico, and much
better than the majority OF them.
With a good system Of water
works. plenty of hose, two good reels
and well-trained men, almost any
fire can be stopped in a short time,
In cases where the fire is too far from
a hydrant, the engine can be used
having been cleaned up and made

Llxinein the Ground.

Some day, when the ,lrchmolngist OF
the three-thousandth century is exca-
waiting America, he will come upon
traces of kind of people he viii not
understand, says writer in the San
Francisco Chronicle. He will write
volumes upon the subject Of the
strange race who, some time in the
dim past, looking from that time, lived
In the holes in the ground. He viii
find pans and cookin,y utensils and
picks and shovels down anywhere from
three to tiirce thousand feet under tho
earth, and he will prove from them
that the inhabitants of this great con-
tinent to-day had their habitations
there because of tie weather or earth
quakes or something. The holes in
the ground will never bc proved to be
mines. There will be enough doubt
on the subject, raised b,f the discovery
of the tailings, TO awaken arguments
and give the scientific world that only
chance Of being heard by the loudness
of its quarreling over trifles. But there
are millions Of holes in the ground in
Nevada which will be absolute proof
that it was not mining, because the
archeologist will never be able to find
trace of metal Of any kind in them.
The future arch@ologist is going to
have lots Of fun. He'll try and decipher
old notices of claims, and then he'll
publish reams of paper giving ingoni-
Gus explanations Of that ago when men
had such numerous families that they
had to locate 1900 feet for burial piats
for one man and his progeny. He'll
pick up on the 3, 3,o00-foot level piece
of newspaper that has covered como
miners lunch, and he win prove from
that that the crust of earth must have
been transparent in the nineteenth
century, because people can't read
newspapers without light. Oh, yesl
I'd like to wake up about the thirtieth
century and see how they fancy we

Earthquakes st sea.

Somebody who has bs,cn inyestlgat-
ing the subject says that the chief cf-
feet OF an earthquake OH the ocean is
the rising of great sea wave, some
times very large, ms, for example, Hixty
feet high at Lisbon In. 176l. also eighty
feet at CalIao in 1924, aud 200 feet at
Lupatka in 1857. These waves are of
ten more destructive on land than the
actual shocks--the influx usually pre-
ceded by an overflow, which. In fact.
acts as a warning. One Of the most
remarkable effects Is the distance to
which these waves are propaCated rs
s.great waves" for example, right
across the Pacific. Thus most large
earthquakes ON the east or west coast
Of the Pacific produce waves which are
recorded on the opposite coast about
twcnty4four hours after. IL is asserted
that, as TO prediction CT earthquakes
nothing certain Ii yet known, but In
many cases there are noticeable
changes IN springs and ,Sells preceding
the event. One useful warning, how
ever, Ia remarked as obviously poaSi5se
namely: the report OF an actual
earthquake on one side of the Pacific
could be at once autographed 10 the
other side, thus giving tweE*y-four
hours notice Of the PROBABLE event Of
